This review supports an autoimmune hypothesis for Satoyoshi syndrome, noting associations with autoantibodies and autoimmune diseases, and reports an observed improvement in most patients with corticosteroid or immunosuppressant treatments.

This review discusses the distinctive non-infective skin presentations of HIV infection from a dermatological perspective and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that patients with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus who have autoimmune-related phenomena do not experience a different natural history of the disease compared to those without such phenomena.

The new surgical technique for vitiligo is effective, safe, and cost-efficient.

This study found that double transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing both AVP1 and AtNHX1 showed improved salt tolerance and enhanced root hair and hypocotyl growth compared to single transgenic lines.

This review explores the inflammatory pathogenesis and clinical presentation of hidradenitis suppurativa, highlighting the complexity of treatment and the impact on patients' quality of life, while also examining emerging therapeutic options.

In this case report, a 25-year-old woman with VKHD experienced an unusual occurrence of vellus-like hair growth on her normally hairless palm, observed twice over two years, expanding the known integumentary manifestations of VKHD.

In this case report, a patient with Hodgkin's disease treated with ABVD chemotherapy became disease-free, and accompanying granuloma annulare skin lesions also improved.

This study found that the Spanish version of the Hair Specific Skindex 29 (HSS29) is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the quality of life impact of female androgenetic alopecia.

High blood pressure drugs often cause skin lupus, stopping the drug usually helps. A vaccine helps prevent genital herpes and HPV-16. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. No link was found between low iron and chronic hair loss.
